Im suffering from anxiety for about a years now. It started out with a few sporadic panic attacks and 4 days without sleep because of heart palpitations. i seen doctors many times and done blood test and ECG everything came back normal. Doctor said im having horrible anxiety. Just recently, it's gotten incredibly worse. I feel anxious everyday. My heart beats irregularly and fast. I tense all my muscles. I have a hard time concentrating. I have a hard time sleeping, which makes me tired all the time. I have a hard time swallowing, to the point where sometimes I actually can't. I feel like I am going to faint. I think I am going to die. I fear something horrible is going to happen. I try to concentrate on my breathing, but it only seems to make it worse! Most of all I FEEL SO WIRED and Confused and im very scared of this feeling!! I feel like something is seriously wrong with me. All negative thoughts mess in my head.I tend to be a fairly social person, but as of late, I am becoming more and more withdrawn. I talk with my friends about it in hopes that they won't think I am crazy. The seem to be supportive, but I don't think that they can really understand the totality of what I am going through. I try to avoid things that trigger panic, but it seems as though everything seems to trigger panic at this point! It would just be nice to have someone to talk to who understands. I fear that this is my life now forever and it's making me depressed, angry, and embarrassed. I want this to go away!!! I just want to feel "normal" again!!!

      Yeah it’s a beta blocker and it’s honestly helped me so much with heart palpitations and shaking and sweats! You defiantly should try it if you suffer with heart anxiety etc xx

      Exact same thing happen to me. Whenever i close my eyes to sleep i feel my heart pound and also shallow breathing, i can't catch my breath. So when it happens i do 4 7 8 breathing exercise to calm myself down somehow

      I used to take beta blocker and besides that anti depressant and sleep med. But didn't work well for me.

    Thats a good question and the answer is yes it will take time and its not without the odd relapse ive suffered for longer than i care to remember and for a while felt like id got myself back to me but lately ive slipped back to the panicking terrorfide wreck i had almost forgotten. There are triggers that can be avoided amd others that will just jump out and bite you. But just remember your not alone in any of this and hey whats "normal" anyway? 😊

      Thanks

      Actually i feel I'm not the same as before. Most of the time i feel so wired and Confused. it seems that something bad has happened or going to happen. Somehow i try to relax in this state as much as i can. Some times it's hard for me to relax.

      I get that trust me ive had that awful feeling in the pit of my stomach and cant understand why which make the anxiety worse its a vicious cycle. Meds do help but the biggest help for me is knowing im not the only one and neither are you x
